| {{:​meta:​icons:​tango:​dialog-information.png?​nolink}} | There is no preset password in OpenWrt! You need to set one at your first login per ssh, telnet or the WebUI. |

+

+

|{{:​meta:​icons:​tango:​48px-dialog-warning.svg.png?​nolink&​24}}| **Pre-built trunk images do not come with any web interface or GUI**. You will only be able to login using the CLI, unless you install one yourself: [[doc:​howto:​luci.essentials|LuCI Essentials]] ​ |

+

+

|{{:​meta:​icons:​tango:​48px-dialog-warning.svg.png?​nolink&​24}}| **Telnet was removed from trunk by 46809. In a newer trunk build, only ssh is available. Note : As of 30/04/2016, Telnet is still available in OpenWrt 15.05.1** ​ |

+

+

===== Command-line Interface(CLI) =====

+

* Via Telnet: Only if you are using Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 (or earlier) and you have NOT already SET UP a password. After setting a password for the root account, telnet connection is disabled and you must use a ssh connection for CLI.

+

* Via SSH: Use [[wp>​PuTTY]] , [[wp>​WinSCP]] or [[https://​wiki.gnome.org/​Apps/​HotSSH|HotSSH]]. For OpenWrt builds //prior// to 15.05.1, SSH connection is only available after setting a password for the root account.

+

+

===== HTTP (using your web browser) =====

+

* If there is no WebUI (Web user interface) in the image, you can swiftly install one following this HowTo: **[[LuCI]]**

+

* For other WebUIs have a look at the [[webinterface.overview]]

+

//Please note: (HTTP**S** access is only available after [[firstlogin|First Login]])//

Note : DO NOT USE the command line "​telnet 192.168.1.1"​ because this connection does not work, you will have this message "​Encryption could not be enabled."​ and next telnet connection is closed by OpenWrt device.

+

+

* type **''​passwd''​** into the prompt. You will be prompted to set a new password for the user root:<​code>​

=== First connection to Luci after set up password for root account by CLI ===

+

+

Open your browser and connect to the router at its default address (usually http://​192.168.1.1 or https://​192.168.1.1). Login using username ''​root''​ and with the password that you have previously set up by CLI (follow the steps in "Login with telnet"​ part in this web page).

+

+

==== Gargoyle ====

+

+

Open your browser and connect to the Web Interface at its default address (192.168.1.1) the username is //​**admin**//​ OR //​**root**//​ and the password is //​**password**//​.

+

You can ssh to the router at the default address (192.168.1.1) the username is //​**root**//​ the password is //​**password**//​. ​

+

Unlike OpenWrt the telnet port is not open.

+

+

===== Login Problems =====

+

If you encounter problems with login, i.d. you can't login, this may very well be a problem with your firewall settings in Linux or Windows. If you have any firewalls, you may disable them. Also, once you set a password in OpenWrt, telnet will no longer functions (see above).

+

+

==== No SSH access after Setting Password ====

+

Try again after a minute or two. On the first bootup OpenWrt will be busy setting up the filesystem and generating SSH keys; the SSH server won't start until after the keys have been generated.

+

+

==== Telnet connection immediately closes ====

+

Once you've set a password new telnet connections are immediately terminated. You must SSH at that point.
